hey baby.

Hey baby

these bones in boots

wait among spatters of

moon-flowers evergreens

snow static we thought

something was promised

you said: “See!”

eyes wide open my baby

can’t believe. my eye

sockets, no wind.

in thousands we stood

baldheaded in snow

in formation, alone,

I hold you baby they

birthed you for this.

leaves falling yellow

bardo snow-flowers

rising green screams

and we stand waiting –

my baby and me.

SOMETHING FOR NOTHING

i'm not sure why...

But I think this has something to do with Walt Disney.
